When he is good, he's very, very good & when he is bad, he is horrid....to paraphrase a famous children's poem. Regarding fan burnout, there are only 3 or 4 games that I still bother with. I say 3 OR 4 because in one case we wait to see if it's going to be abandoned & in another I'm finding it impossible to download the latest update.

Writing isn't as easy as it sounds & I think we all accept that. AWAM is still a cut above most games, most of the time IMO & I havn't thought to delete it, unlike a lot of stories I used to follow, including anything that goes over 6 months before the next update. At one point I thought I must be jaded to find so much of what's currently on offer not entertaining but I realised it's mainly because it's just not immersive or engaging enough for someone who first read a porn story in 1965.

I've stayed with AWAM because I'm genuinely curious about what happens next & that must be a tribute to the VN in general, including the writing. Like you, however, I stopped believing this would be the great adult 3D erotic novel of the era some time ago.

It COULD be the game of the era if it's finished. That doesn't mean it will be flawless, it just means it could be the best of its era. If you watch classic movies, they often don't hold up great to great movies of today, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a great movie for its era. AWAM's biggest downfall is that it will never be finished. Content wise I think there's a lot of positive things to point at, but the painfully slow development cycle leads to a likelyhood that it'll never be finished. That's what will keep it from being an all-time great.

I agree on your concept just in reverse. They are not making Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, Stalag 17, An Affair to Remember, Vertigo, One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest , or even a Christmas Story with awesome Ralphie (just to scratch the surface). They are using nice flares and explosions though and redoing every thing they can just ... worse! IMO of course.

Note: I can be convinced that anything with Evangeline Lilly:love: in it is fantastic. Just Sayin'!:cool:

Now for most games there is a torrent link almost immediately.You can download that way even 20GB games.
A big problem with splitting PD 13 on 10 parts will be that for many players there will be completely empty updates.Or maybe even a whole playable day.And with the speed we are getting the days,that can mean more than year of waiting.

I don't think the split is causing such a problem. If anything it solves the issue of waiting for the event you want play at a very miniscule level. Like previously until the 5 events of the update were all complete we could play nothing. Suppose if this was the case for PD 12, someone just wants to play the Ellie Sophia scene which is the first scene, now once it's ready they get to play it. Instead of having to wait for all the other events of the update to he completed which they don't care about. It also makes people less impatient.

Like I'm sure most would remember, how back during v0.130 there were people who wanted the update to he released without the Dylan event itself. Now with this format, this is exactly what happens.

Also even if there are updates where a person doesn't get anything, the wait for the next update is short. On the grander scheme if there is a character who does not have an event anyways on the day, you would not get any content no matter the update format.

The wait for the update is not that short.Some people are believing we will get weekly or on 2 weeks update,but that won't happen.We will be lucky if we get an update on 4 weeks.And I mean 4 weeks counting both the time he is working and not working on the update.Anyone expecting PD 13 will done in something like 100-150 days must wake up.
And I am really sorry for the people who were waiting for the content that was shut down and converted to DLC.
DLC that we probably will never see.Unless he do it way before the end of the game.Which will make no sense.
After all he decide to add DLC in order to make that content much later,after the game is completed.

I don't know anyone who expected an update in 2 weeks. Whoever was expecting that was definitely living in a fantasy. Only the update format has changed not the no. Of developers or his speed.

The last update had 4 major events it took 4.5 months. So a simple math for each update should not be less that 1 month.

I can't speak for everyone else but I don't believe this playable will be anywhere close to completion in 150 days. That's once again a wishful fantasy and utter foolishness to expect.

I wasn't even talking about speed in that post. I just said that we will get to see events a little earlier as we don't have to wait for all the events to be completed first.
